Australian Rohan Dennis proved too hot to handle as the Tour de France began with a 13.8-kilometre individual time trial through the sweltering streets of Utrecht on Saturday.
One of the early starters in the 198-strong field, the BMC Racing Team rider averaged 55.446 kmh to stop the clock in 14 minutes 56 seconds to take the yellow jersey.
Germany's Tony Martin was second quickest, five seconds behind, with stage favourite Fabian Cancellara of Switzerland one second further back.
